USS Frank Cable (AS-40) tends deployed submarines USS Honolulu (SSN-718) and USS La Jolla (SSN-701) while anchored in Hong Kong Harbor. The tender's presence made it possible for the two submarines to make a port visit to the Asian metropolis as United States submarines cannot moor to the mainland. This is one of the last Western Pacific port visits Honolulu will make before returning to Bremerton, Wash., to begin decommissioning.US Navy photo # 061007-N-3228J-002 Hong Kong (Oct. 7, 2006) by MC1 Jeremy Johnson, USN.
